Our Take

The Waterboys are back with another wild and wacky concept album, this time taking inspiration from the one and only Mr. Yeats. An Appointment With Mr. Yeats sees the band blend their trademark Celtic folk-rock sound with the poetry of the iconic Irish poet, creating a truly unique listening experience. From the opening track "The Hosting of the Shee," it's clear that The Waterboys have fully embraced Yeats' mystical and ethereal imagery, weaving it seamlessly into their music. Mike Scott's distinctive vocals soar over swirling fiddles and pounding drums, transporting the listener to a world of ancient myth and magic. Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "News for the Delphic Oracle" and the rollicking "Milesian Saga," both of which showcase the band's virtuoso instrumental skills and Scott's evocative storytelling. While some may find the concept of combining rock music with classic poetry a bit pretentious, The Waterboys pull it off with aplomb, creating an album that is both intellectually stimulating and irresistibly catchy. An Appointment With Mr. Yeats is a bold and ambitious statement from a band that continues to push the boundaries of traditional folk music. Highly recommended for fans of poetry, folk rock, or just good old-fashioned musical adventure. Grab your copy today and let The Waterboys take you on a literary journey like no other.
